Every year I get nice Halloween surpises. This year I’ve had lots, and one such surprise was getting an unsolicited catalogue through the post from a company called Yellow Moon.
Yep, I didn’t ask for it, but I got a catalogue anyway, but rather than be angry and throw it away, I was delighted to see Halloween stuff. LOTS of Halloween stuff!
I think we can safely say that this will be our last Asda Halloween post for this year.
Although we do love their halloween products, we don’t want to make our site too Asda focussed – even though we have probably already done that!
And what better way to finish it up than a nice little video produced by us here at Halloweenerrific reviewing our top 5 Asda Halloween products for 2010. All done in a rather cheesy way.
It may seem as if I’m just writing posts about every supermarket at the moment, commenting on it halloween stuff and that Tesco’s is just next on the list.
It may also seem that I just love everything that the shops are selling, just because I love Halloween so darn much.
According to this recent article in the Daily Mail research by Tesco’s has found Halloween has overtaken Valentine’s Day, Bonfire Night and Mothers Day in terms of British High Street sales.
Sales of sweets, themed foods, such as pumpkins, decorations and devilish costumes have provided a bonanza for supermarkets and other stores as we all spend, spend, spend on Halloween themed goodies.
Carolyn Bradley, Tesco’s UK marketing director, said: ‘Halloween has become one of the main seasonal events during the last ten years, with sales almost trebling since 2005.
I guess that just goes to show that Halloween is one of the most popular holiday’s in the British calendar. All we need now is for someone to make it a bank holiday!

It might seem strange to some of you that people exchange gifts at this frightful time of year (Halloween) but it seems to be a growing phenomenon.
Since my first child was born, her auntie has bought her a Halloween themed toy EVERY Halloween, and it’s all thanks to Build-A-Bear.
